C. S. Lewis's Dangerous Idea

Meer over het boek

The book explores the philosophical clash between Charles Darwin's naturalism and C. S. Lewis's argument from reason. Victor Reppert defends Lewis's perspective, asserting that if materialism were true, scientific reasoning would be undermined. He critiques critics of Lewis, particularly in light of the debates with philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe, and positions Lewis among historical thinkers like Socrates and Aquinas. Reppert emphasizes that Lewis's true value lies in inspiring independent thought, urging readers to delve deeper into philosophical inquiry.
